Chapter 189 No. e-1
Watching everyone board the boat.

The leader of the ghost organization looked at the two ghost agents and said, "I came here this time not only to pick up people, but also a more important task, to build this place into a military base belonging to our civilized science city."

As he said that, he took out the unique electronic screen of Civilized Science City, and an electronic document stamped with the steel seal of Civilized Science City suddenly appeared on the electronic screen.

The two ghost agents immediately took out their electronic screens, and sure enough, it showed that their command was temporarily handed over to the other party.

Looking at each other, the two saluted a military salute and said, "Yes! Sir!"

Seeing this, the other party nodded and continued: "From now on, I declare that everything on Dragon Blood Island will be taken over by me!"

After saying this, he immediately began to arrange work.

Although most of the pirates on Dragon Blood Island have been cleared.

But there are always leftovers.

Their next job is to ensure that none of these remaining pirates can escape from Dragon Blood Island.

This task is not difficult.

In fact, the drone bombing not long ago sank all the speedboats that the pirates used to plunder.

The surviving pirates on the island now have no choice but to surrender.

As for killing all the pirates, that's not enough.

Because Civilization Science City still needs the identities of these pirates as a cover to build a military base here.

The reason for Lu Chen to build a military base here is also very simple, to escort the freighters of Huanyu Trading Company.

For the development of a civilized science city, foreign trade must be carried out.

Among other things, it is impossible for a small Kanya to have sufficient resources for the development of the Civilized Science City.

Even the whole of Africa may not be enough for his development.

Especially for some rare minerals, apart from buying them at high prices, there is only one way to wage war.

There are even some minerals that cannot be purchased even at high prices.

For example, the Banshee fighter plane currently being developed by the Academy of Civilization and Science needs to use an extremely precious rare metal-rhenium.

In fact, rhenium metal is not only a necessary metal for the development of the NY-10 electronic aviation engine, but also one of the necessary metals for the development of the fifth-generation aircraft.

After all, no matter how good an engine is, it needs enough good raw materials to manufacture it.

Rhenium metal, or the new rhenium alloy developed by the Academy of Civilization Sciences, is the best material for making NY-10 electric avionics engine blades.

Without this kind of metal, the flight performance of the Banshee will be greatly reduced by a notch.

At least it can't fly out of outer space, because its thrust can't make it reach the first cosmic speed, and it can't get rid of the gravity of the earth.

This is also the reason why Lu Zhou has a headache recently.

Due to the importance of the metal rhenium, this metal is almost a strategic metal for the Big Five.

Even the two rogues at the back of the five rogues had difficulty obtaining this kind of metal.

Not to mention Lu Chen.

The only bit of rhenium in Lu Chen's hands was mined from a small rhenium mine in Kanya.

But the reserves of this rhenium mine are really too small.

According to Lu Zhou's estimation, the mined rhenium metal can only produce up to three Banshee fighter jets.

Lu Chen absolutely couldn't bear this point.

Three Banshee fighters, no matter how powerful the Banshee fighters are, what's the use?

With the amount of bombs it can carry, even if all three fighter planes are loaded with nuclear bombs, how much damage can it cause?
It is amazing that a small country can be smoothed out, but it is simply impossible to smooth out a country with a land area of ​​more than 500 million square kilometers.

Without the power to level the whole world at the same time, Lu Chen would have no sense of security.

This kind of disease, which always has people wanting to murder me, has been dying since the day I got the technology editor, and Lu Chen basically gave up treatment.

Only with the strength to compete with all human beings can this situation be alleviated a little bit
However, there is a country that has extremely rich reserves of rhenium, or metal rhenium that cannot be obtained in Africa.

That is Chile.

Among the proven rhenium metal deposits in the world, Chile has the largest rhenium metal reserves, reaching 1300 tons, several times more than the second-ranked United States.

At the same time, it is also the largest producer and seller of rhenium metal.

Last year, Chile produced 31 tons of rhenium metal, a huge part of which was supplied to the United States.

However, this is the past!
Just two months ago.

Qin Ruolan of Huanyu Agricultural Company signed a contract with the Chilean government to exchange grain for the supply of rhenium metal.

As we all know, although Chile has developed agriculture, it mainly produces fruits and lacks rice.

All along, Chilean rice has been dependent on imports from the United States.

No sovereign country wants to put all the lifeblood of the country in the hands of outsiders, and Chile is no different.

Therefore, when Huanyu Agricultural Company and Chile talked about the cooperation of exchanging grain for metal rhenium, the two sides had a very pleasant chat.

Moreover, the Chilean side has promised to supply ten tons of rhenium metal to the Kannya government every year, and the rest will be settled by their national currency, the peso.

Chile exported a total of 31 tons of rhenium metal every year, and gave Kanya ten tons at once. It can be said that Chile immediately distributed one-third of the export share of rhenium metal to the United States to Lu Chen.

This incident made the United States very angry.

However, in view of the cooperative relationship between the two parties, the United States did not dare to go too far.

But for the Kannya government, which is taking food by the mouth of a tiger, the American government is completely resentful.

Of course, it doesn't matter to Lu Chen whether America bears a grudge or not.

Even if the American economy blocks him, he doesn't care, anyway, he has no citizens to support.

Besides, with Kanya's current trading environment, it doesn't make much difference whether it is blocked or not.

As for the blockade of the City of Civilization and Science, it is even more nonsense.

First of all, the economy of Civilization Science City is highly dependent on artificial intelligence and T-1 robots.

It can be self-sufficient in energy, minerals and other resources can also be self-sufficient for the time being, and it also has extremely abundant US dollar reserves.

How does the United States blockade?
Unless the United States dares to abolish the US dollar, Lu Chen can no longer purchase any resources from outside.

However, Lu Chen is rooted in Africa, where all kinds of resources are already very rich, but due to the international environment, Africa is ignored.

The background of the United States here is not even as good as that of Francistan.

Therefore, Lu Chen is not afraid of the economic blockade.

The only thing it can do, it is estimated, is to limit the sales of Arclight cars and companion robots in the domestic market.

But this point, Lu Chen is not afraid.

Not to mention that the Morgan consortium owns shares in Arclight Motors, the supply of these two products is in short supply, so Lu Chen is destined not to worry about these.

All means are useless, and the last option is to launch a war.

ummm
Lu Chen felt that the other party should not dare, because he really had weapons of mass destruction.

Dragon Blood Island Pier.

One after another, T-1 construction robots, carrying various machinery, walked off the freighter.

The crane of this freighter is also working non-stop.

It is obviously not something that can be done in a day or two to build Dragon Blood Island into a military base that can escort the Huanyu Trading Company.

R-2331 sent an R-type clone, not only to take over the command, but also to coordinate the construction of this military base and the follow-up issues.

Dragon Blood Island is an island belonging to Somalia.

Despite its remoteness and little economic value, the island is part of Somalia.

Lu Chen's current behavior is actually a kind of aggression.

What this R-type clone needs to do next is to let Civilization and Science City legally occupy the island.

Although there are pirates on the island to help them cover, it is not an easy task.

As for the number of this overseas military base, Lu Chen has already thought about it, and it is called e-1.

The first military base on Earth other than the base camp.
